Matthew Cho – Sport Management Undergrad
Name: Matthew Cho
Hometown: Bellevue, WA
Year: 2021
Favorite sport: Baseball
What inspired you to study Sport Management?
I have always wanted to work in sports, and I figured this would be the best degree for me. At the end of the day, sports are a business, and I felt that learning as much information about the behind-the-scenes would be beneficial.
What advice do you have for incoming students pursuing this degree?
Something I have always struggled with was creating connections and maintaining them. You never know who can help you in the future so make sure to never burn bridges!
Tell us about your extracurricular activities while at WSU!
I was an assistant coach for the Colfax High School baseball team and helped during the Palouse Summer Series in baseball.
In 2019, you were part of a team that participated in a baseball analytics case study competition. What was the experience like?
This was an eye-opening experience for me. Not only did I represent WSU, but some of the top analytical minds in baseball minds were there and I listened to them speak. It was very humbling and a great learning experience. It helped me realized that just knowing the numbers isn’t enough.
If you could witness any event—past, present, or future—what would it be? Why?
It’s tough to choose but I would probably go back to Game 5 of the 1995 American League Division Series between the Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees. This game saved baseball in Seattle, and I would have witnessed Ken Griffey, Jr. and Edgar Martinez in their prime.
What do you consider to be your greatest achievement?
Probably getting my current internship with Seattle University’s baseball team. Being able to influence the game plan, digging into the numbers, and providing support to the coaching staff has been awesome.
Where do you see yourself in ten years?
Hopefully in a position of influence in terms of game planning, scouting, and analytics for a baseball organization.
Your advice to students coping with the pandemic?
Continue looking for experiences. Organizations look for passion, but writing down you have passion on a resume isn’t enough. Rather than staying home and waiting for an opportunity, you can create a blog or a website and show your passion. However, at the end of the day, life is bigger than just sports, so take care of yourself and spend quality time with your loved ones!

District Central Office Leadership for Caring and Supportive Schools
Jeff Walls’ Faculty Page
I am a faculty member in the Educational Leadership program at Washington State University. My focus as a scholar is on understanding the ethical dimensions of organizational life and on producing caring leaders for caring schools.
Research
My research agenda focuses on how leaders and teachers navigate the ethical crosscurrents of life in schools, and particularly on how education professionals experience and seek to shape schools as caring spaces. Links to some of my recent publications are below. If you would like to access a publication but are unable to, please contact me and I will be happy to help!
Teaching
I teach both in the statewide Ed.D program in Educational Leadership and in the principal credential program for students in the Spokane area/Northeast Washington. In the Ed.D program, my teaching focuses on organizational theory and ethics in educational leadership. I teach a variety of courses in the principal credential program, including courses focused on community collaboration, school improvement, and instructional leadership.
Service
In addition to service to the Educational Leadership program, WSU College of Education, and Washington State University, I have sought to serve the broader educational community in Washington. With the help of an American Educational Research Association Educational Research Service Grant, I investigated how school district central offices support caring in schools. The research/practice product of that work is here:
District Central Office Leadership for Caring and Supportive Schools
I have also served as a member of the Washington Professional Educator Standard Board Sub-Committee on Social and Emotional Learning. The purpose of this committee was to provide guidance to teacher and administrator preparation programs as they implement Washington’s Social and Emotional Learning standards into their programs. You can view the brief for SEL Implementation in principal programs here.
